Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, has reacted to a claim that President Bola Tinubu is an asset of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
The claim was made by investigative journalist David Hundeyin, who shared court documents to back his allegations, where the US spy agency CIA said “Nigeria’s sitting president is an active CIA asset.”
This claim caused “Tinubu is CIA” to trend on X/Twitter.
Reacting, Olusegun Dada rubbished the allegations against his principal.
He wrote on X: “They told you he was a lady. You believed.
“They told yorubas don’t bear tinubu, You believed
“They told you he can’t be allowed into the US. You believed
“They told you his name is name is not is name. You believed.
“Now they brought another one. Here you are as usual. Tragic.”
This comes after Hundeyin claimed the United States’ law enforcement agencies have insisted Nigerians “have no right” to unfiltered access to President Bola Tinubu’s past records.
The position was stated in a memorandum filed by the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Drug Enforcement Administration before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, which renowned journalist, David Hundeyin, shared on Twitter on Tuesday night, Nov. 12.
Last year, the court declined an emergency application seeking to compel top US law enforcement agencies to hasten the release of confidential information on President Bola Tinubu.
Giving an update on the case, David Hundeyin said the three US agencies had filed their defence against the summary judgment concerning President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s drug trafficking investigation records.
